The build­ing indus­try has seen a rel­a­tive­ly recent trend of archi­tects, design­ers, and home­own­ers mov­ing away from ener­gy con­sump­tive forms of con­struc­tion and the imple­men­ta­tion of more sus­tain­able, less expen­sive con­struc­tion meth­ods.

We are hon­ored to be rec­og­nized with these five ICF Builder Awards. Fox Blocks won five awards in three cat­e­gories, with projects from five dif­fer­ent states.

We cov­er the dif­fer­ences between CMU blocks and poured con­crete foun­da­tions so that you don’t have to learn from tri­al and error.

We know esti­mat­ing for an ICF project can be daunt­ing if you don’t know where to start, so we’ve cre­at­ed this help­ful video tuto­r­i­al.

Learn about the pas­sive strate­gies, inno­v­a­tive tech­nolo­gies, and sys­tem inte­gra­tions that cre­ate a mod­ern, high-per­for­mance, healthy com­mer­cial build­ing in this info­graph­ic.

ICF con­struc­tion offers an easy way to achieve hur­ri­cane-resis­tant wall sys­tems that pro­tect against wind, fly­ing debris, and flood­ing.

Ener­gy costs keep climb­ing, mak­ing insu­la­tion ener­gy effi­cien­cy more impor­tant than ever. Build­ings that lose heat in the win­ter and trap it in the sum­mer waste ener­gy and dri­ve up util­i­ty bills.

Par­ty wall con­struc­tion plays a cru­cial role in the devel­op­ment of town­hous­es, con­do­mini­ums, and duplex­es. Par­ty walls are strate­gi­cal­ly placed to sep­a­rate indi­vid­ual units with­in a shared struc­ture, to pro­vide pri­va­cy, fire pro­tec­tion, and struc­tur­al sta­bil­i­ty.

In regions prone to hur­ri­canes, tor­na­does, and wild­fires, Fox Blocks ICF wall assem­bly pro­vides an excel­lent alter­na­tive to wood-frame con­struc­tion.
